I have a friend, Ruben, who, a couple of years ago, had his wife, Michelle, see the manager of the supermarket where they shop being interviewed on TV. He said someone had purchased a lotto ticket there and the 6-month deadline to turn it in was the next day. It was worth nine million. It was their ticket. They always played the same number, a combination of their birthdates. They couldn't find the ticket. They tore their house, offices, cars, and garage apart. They looked all night for it. I started getting worried because Ruben sounded suicidal. The next day they found the ticket. They cashed out lump sum after taxes at something like 3 1/2 mil. A month later we celebrated with them on St. Patrick's Day. He was still driving a beat up 1950 Chevy truck and she was driving a 49 Suburban.

The difference between Alex and Wantone is:
Alex says he has a super car, and nobody believes him.
Wantone says he doesn't have a super car, and nobody believes him.

I think with an amoutn like 290 million (or 160 if that's what it ends up being) I would hire a lot of my friends to do things for me. That way, I could keep the same circle of friends and we could all sorta share in it.
I would finally open a garage with my roommate. We would call it RnD Garage Werks.

when I win the lottery, I'm buyin another house in Vegas, then buying the presidential election, then taking over the world a third world country at a time. every race, religion and sexual orientation will get their own country and anyone who makes trouble with another country will be forced to drive a Honda Element for the rest of their lives. I'll do away with money (having already spent mine) and bring the world back to a barter system. Laws will be enforced with the 'eye for an eye' standard, and Congress and the senate will be abdicated. I will rule solely on my own. Waffles will be sold in every restaurant 24 hours a day, and scientists will work to cure cancer and develop a bacon that is good for you. The work week will be cut from 40 hours to 20 hours, and siestas will be mandatory. Oil will be bartered for non-profit equivalencies.
Oh, and anyone who disagrees with how they are goverened will be more than welcome to leave the planet.
